If Debian's package maintainers do not update unstable (or at least experimental) frequently enough I have to go forward and introduce a new upstream release Ubuntu-first. This often happens, especially also due to Debian's 2-year release cycle and freeze time windows of Debian and Ubuntu no necessarily being to the same time.
And having a printer driver (hardware enablement) package being 2 years old in a leading distro with a 6-month release cycle is especially bad. Such packages could even have releases after the release of the distro itself to support new hardware ...
